How much she loved everyone and how much fun we had when we came tovisit. the thing that i remember the most is that I got to see her one last time before she died and i went on my mission. That was really special to me

Thank you for your kindness, your understanding and for always making me feel welcome and special. I will always cherish the time I was able to share with you and I will always miss you! XO God bless and love you!!

I remember how beautiful she always looked, I never saw her without her hair and makeup fixed beautifully. I also remember that Charlie was on old grump at times and Darlyne would try and set him straight, it was in a cute funny way. I remember going to the hospital with Brennan when he was tiny and it was foreign to him to see his Grandma there without her makeup and pretty clothes. It was hard for all of us to see her that way, she was a beautiful person and I was blessed to know her. I cannot believe that she's been gone this long!
